IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 < 6.1.0.39 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 55649

Synopsis

The remote application server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 before Fix Pack 39 appears to be running on the remote host. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Use of an insecure XML encryption algorithm could allow for decryption of JAX-RPC or JAX-WS Web Services requests. (PM34841)

- An error exists in the validation of the 'logoutExitPage' parameter that can allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions and redirect users in support of a phishing attack. (PM35701)

- An error exists in the handling of administration console requests. This error can allow a local attacker to use a specially crafted request to view sensitive stack-trace information. (PM36620)

Solution

If using WebSphere Application Server, apply Fix Pack 39 (6.1.0.39) or later.

Otherwise, if using embedded WebSphere Application Server packaged with Tivoli Directory Server, apply the latest recommended eWAS fix pack.
